Undoing changes to records

If you need to revert or undo changes made to DNS records, DDI orchestrator provides a straightforward process through its history feature. It’s essential to use this feature carefully, especially when dealing with critical DNS configurations.

To undo changes:

1. In the DNS list, locate the zone where the changes were made.
2. Use the ellipses in the row to select View history.
3. Locate the specific action you want to undo within the history.
4. Select Undo after selecting the ellipses in the row.

This rolls back the selected change, restoring the DNS record to its previous state.
